LEAVE IT TO GRANDMA!
By Zelma Wilkes Smith
FF
G RANDMA Watson sat alone in
her daughter’s living room. Bill
had just left, relieved to have put
the sobbing five year old Tommy
into Grandma’s arms. This had
been the first time Bill had tried
to keep the child over night.
Grandma had seen the jealous
light in Bill’s eyes when she had
told him Sybil had gone out. She
had also heard Sybil crying herself
to sleep nights, during the month
she had been in this house with
SybiL
‘•Stubborn kids!” she said in ex
asperation, “still in love, but too
proud to give in!
Something should be done about
this, but what?
Sybil slept late on Sunday morn
ing. When she came down to break
fast she found her mother on the
* front porch, calling Tommy. “I
declare, I don’t know where that
boy could be,” she told her
daughter.
“Why Tommy went home with
Bill—remember?” Sybil said.
“No, Bill brought him home
about ten last night. He couldn’t
get the child to sleep.”
“Huh!” Sybil retorted, “he prob-M
ably brought Tommy home so he
could have a date with Carol!”*
“That’s his secretary?” Grand
ma asked.
“Yes, and Bill began taking her
to conferences' instead of me!”
Sybil’s eyes were flashing through
sudden {ears.
“Tommy had breakfast at seven,
and I’ve not seen him since.”
Grandma said frowning, “Sybil,
I’m worried.”
“Oh, he’s probably playing with
the little boy down on the corner,
Sybil said, “I'll go after him.”
It was half an hour later when
Sybil came home. “Hasn’t Tommy
come home yet?" she asked. ‘T’ve
been everywhere, and no one has
seen him. Do you suppose—oh, no
—not clear across town!” She ran
to the phone to call Bill.
Sybil was crying when she came
back to the kitchen “Bill is com
ing right over," she sobbed, “he
thinks Tommy tried to come back
to him today.”
Bill and Sybil were gone for sev
eral hours. The girl called • back
every half hour to see if Grandma
had heard good news yet.
“We’ve been to the police sta
tion,” she said over the phone,
“and Bill is calling the hospital—
oh. Mom—where can he be?”
“Don’t forget, darling,” Grand
ma said gently, “no harm will
come to him.”
In the late afternoon. Bill led
Sybil into the house and put her
to rest upon the divan. “Mom,
you’d better bring her a sedative,
she’s all in. I’m going out again
soon, but I want her to rest.”
When Grandma brought in the
pills with a glass of water, she
found Bill upon his knees beside
the divan, Sybil resting in his
arms.
“We’ve been such fools,” he was
saying. “As soon as Tommy is
found, I’m moving my things back
in here. I belong here with you and
Tommy.”
“I’ve been so miserable without
you, darling,” Sybil confessed.
“You were silly, being jealous of
Carol,” he went on, “I could never
love any woman but you. You
should know that!”
Grandma watched Sybil swallow
the pills, then she went back to
the kitchen, and upstairs by the
back way. In the bedroom she
dialed a number on the phone.
"Hello, Mrs. Barett,” she said,
“you can send Tommy home now.
Yes, it worked like a charm. Thank
you for keeping him.”
Grandma was crying softly, as
she clicked the receiver back into
its cradle. It had torn her heart
to see them tortured, but surely it
had been no sin, since it had
brought them to their senses. From
the corner window, she could see
Tommy rounding the corner and
trotting down the street. She lifted
the phene,and asked for long dis
tance.
“Hello, Sarah,” she said joy
fully. “I’ll be home tomorrow,
dear Yes. to stay!"

FARMS AND FOLKS

CHANGE
The mule and the horse were
the handmaidens of the pioneer,
as he conquered the wilderness
here. Now they have become so
rare at many places that a New
York zoo has put them in one of
its exhibit pens.
Once just about all of our
folks farmed. Now less than 16 per
cent of them do. Yet we make
more stuff and are better fed and
clothed than ever.
I can remember when the man
who said he made a bale of cotton
per acre was regarded with sus
picion. And the fellow who said
he made 100 bushels of corn per
acre was regarded as a liar. Now
we have records of over 3 bales
per acre that folks don’t doubt.
And the South Carolina 100 Bushel
Corn club has several hundred
members.
It used to take a year to make
a hog big enough to kill. Now,
since demonstration feeding point
ed the way in the late twenties,
we make tops out of ’em in half
that time.
Cotton once grew on almost 3
million of our best acres. Now
it is found on barely a million.
And on cotton’s vast lost acres we
see a .diversification growing with
grass, trees, grain, soybeans, the
lespedezas and clovers, grain
sorghum and the resulting live
stock, poultry, and dairy produc
tion that all of this spells out.
Roads were once quagmires
most of the year. Now they are
covered with smooth surfaces as
firm as rock. When I was raised
it took a half hour of hard plod
ding to get to the mill down on
the creek. The other day I shut
my engine off and rolled there in
2 minutes without a bump.
Change, change! My how It
has come in our time!, And with
science in the saddle, we haven’t
arrived yet. There is plenty still
ahead. I see it in the laborator
ies and plots of the experimenter.
I see it coming from the skilled
hands of the plant breeder. I see
it being demonstrated in the field
by the county agents and taught
in the schools by the ag teachers.
And last of all, I see the latest
things being adopted by progress
ive farmers and thus spreading
over communities. And with it
all, the power that is latent in
our land is ever being brought
out, more and more.
Change, change, may it ever
be! And may we always freely
embrace It, as it comes in truth.
4-H NOTES
National 4-H Club Week was
recently observed by 52,000 boys
and girls who are members in
South Carolina.
What a force we have there!
All of those youngsters learning
by doing surely makes for a better
future on the farm and in the
home.
From handling a machine in the
field to baking a good pie, they
are taught by county and home
agents and the specialists from
Clemson and Winthrop. The
state 4-H sweet potato champions
from. Darlington county recently
went with their car of potatoes
to the big markets up East, where
they saw them sold. And the
cherry pie cooking champion,
Shelva Jean Coleman from Dillon,
bakefl one of her delicious pies
recently at a national contest
held in Chicago.
Yes, in 4-H they learn by do
ing. And through these young
sters a lot of new and better
things have come to the farms
and homes of the state of late.
COLORED PROGRESS
Yard beautification and home
improvement have sure advanced
over the state in recent years.
This applies to the home of both
the white and the colored folks.
Among the latter, the Negro
home demonstration agents report
the following Instances:
During a recent month 11 Barn
well women had yard beautifica
tion as their project and two pur
chased kitchen and bathroom
equipment. ,
In Darlington, each club woman
is improving her bedroom. Tours
will be held to see the winners
in this. Five of the women’s clubs
there Improved their church-school
grounds. And meat canning
demonstrations were held in all of
the clubs.
An4 in Union county special
emphasis has been placed on
using native shrubbei^r for home
beautification, 38 women and 22
girls having thus made the foun
dation plantings around their
homes.

AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
OF NEWBERRY
Sports Afield
By TED RESTING
So you’ve got a new pup and
you’re going to train this one
yourself; mold him into the very
kind of dog you’ve always want
ed. Wonderful; But let me cau
tion you—developing a young dog
into a satisfactory asset to the
gun is a job that has its snags
and snarls..
The best advice I can give you
is from Henry P. Davis, topnotch
dog expert: “Don’t expect too
much too soon.” Dog training is
pretty much a matter of ghe and
take in which “easy does it” is a
good motto to follow. If you
crowd your puppy too hard you
run the risk of causing him to lose
interest entirely or of molding
him into a mechanical sort of fel
low dependent upon you for di
rections all the time and fearful
of making a mistake.
' “What’s the best age at which
to start a young hunting dog on
a course of training?” is a ques
tion Davis is asked, every day.
There is no set rule about this,
for so much depends on the in
dividual dog. But there is one
sound reckoning that is well to
follow: when he’s old enough to
understand and absorb the things
you want* to teach him.
If you have a puppy four or
five months old now, this is a
good time to give him a little
experience in the field. The
cover is down, scenting conditions
are good and the lengthening
hours of the day allow time for
a little field work before dark.
Don’t get me wrong. By field
work I do n^t mean serious field
training.
Just take him afield and allow
him to have his head. If he shows
an interest in hunting, let him
know that you are pleased. If he
just trots along with you, don’t
be discouraged. Do not try to
force him to do anything. And
bring him home before he be
comes tired ot loses interest in
his new advanture.
At this age your puppy should
be taught his name, to come when
called, and to heel or walk quiet
ly at your side.
*The best time to start a puppy’s
serious training, in Davis opinion,
is after he has passed his first
birthday. In the case of many
individuals, a year and a half or
even two years would be better,
for the training at that time is
more likely to be a permanent na
ture because of the dog’s better-
developed mental capacity to un
derstand and retain it.
Produce Vegetables
For Better Health
The most important result of
producing vegetables on the farm
is the improvement which may be
expected in the health and food
habits of the family. In addition
to the cash savings of money
spent for those supplies, medical
authorities And food specialists
say that to be healthy, strong and
active one should eat plenty o<
fruit and vegetables.
Suggestions made by Miss Davis
Home Demonstration Agent and
P. B. Ezell, County Agent are as
follows:
Do not allow tomato plants to
grow long legged. Transplant
them to other boxes or frames
and give each plant room to be
come stout-stemmed and stocky.
If well hardened they may be set
in the open ten d%ys earlier.
In setting tomato plants do not
follow the old rule of setting only
as deep as Ijhey stood in the
seed bed. This is not deep enough.
A good tomato plant is about eight
inches from the root to the top,
and about as large as a lead pen
cil. Set the plants so that half
the stem is below the surface of
the ground. Plants set in this
manner will have i^oots enough
to resist drought. Besides roots
will come along the part of the
stem that is under the ground.
Early kinds of vegetables that
were planted in February and
March, such as beets, cabbage,
carrots, cauliflower, kale, lettuce,
mustard, peas, spinach, etc., need
to be cultivated frequently and
thoroughly, and should «be given a
side dressing of nitrate of soda.
Scatter this between the rows
without getting it on the plants.
Cultivate the ground wih a wheel
hoe.
Make plantings of the following
vegetables about April 15th.
Beans: Wade, Black Valentine,
Logan, Plentiful, Bountiful, and
Cherokee Wax. Sow in open
1 ^ inches deep, one quart to
100 feet, rows 2% feet apart.
Three to four beans to every 8
to 10 inches.
